Hi, I wanted to know, when we plan to release the next PLplot version (5.9.3)? We already added a *lot* of code, so another release would be justified, but I also want to solve some issues with the wxWidgets driver before.

Hi Werner: I am interested in or working directly on a lot of the recently introduced code. Thus, I would like to see this work released in a timely manner so our users have access to it. On the other hand, additional time will be required for further development of the new code (e.g., modern font handling for the qt device, finishing the leap seconds work for libqsastime, and documentation of that new library) and some additional time required for rigourous testing. So I am comfortable with a release date say two months from now and willing to live with one three months from now, but I would prefer we release no later than three months from now. Would two months until the release give you enough time for what you want to do with wxwidgets (and qt) or do you think you will require three months? Alan __________________________ Alan W.

Missed that question. 2 months should be okay (beginning of May). There is one nasty bug for the Visual C++ compiler and the wxGC backend, where I have no idea how to solve that. So 2 months is as good as 3 months (since it's pure luck if I fix it). There is a workaround for this bug (not using dynamic drivers), so I'll change the cmake files accordingly in time.

Early May is fine with me. I've no big plans at the moment, mostly some more work on the NaN support. Andrew |

Hi Alan, things I want to achieve for the 5.9.3 release: - Get ctest to work under bare Windows (using the winbash utility) - Solve the build issues that pop up now and again (the issues with .def files for instance) Should be doable in the coming weeks. So, no objection from me.

Hi Werner, most of it works: it is testing the Tcl part, where there is a lot of redirecting, that does not work.

Early May is good for me. I've been meaning to post a note giving people an idea of waht's on my mind with respect to PLplot development, and soliciting comments, so I'll take this opportunity. The main thing I am trying to get done on the short term, is merge the python branch that I forked about 16 months ago, to trunk. I am going to try to get that done comfortably ahead of this release, so that others can test it. Alan has raised some concern to me over the build system impact. So I want to get that on trunk as soon as I can and make sure people have a chance to test it and work with me to git the cmake part of it ironed out. The other things I am interested in working on I will plan to do on branches. As such, they should have no impact on the release schedule. Any branch that's not ready for merge, will just slide to a later release. Those things are: 1) Cleaning up the python pieces 2) Resolving some bugs in the Tk binding/widget. 3) A circuit plotting utility. I haven't been able to find anything out there that makes it really easy to draw electrical circuits from a simple ASCII spec. Well, I mean, not anything free. I'm imagining something like graphviz, but which can draw circuits instead of just bubble charts and FSM diagrams. The graphviz suite seems really cool for abstract diagrams. But for physical diagrams, where symbol shapes, and connection points matter a lot in the interpretation of the diagram, I can't find anything that really fits the bill. If anybody knows of a free circuit diagramer that I've missed, by all means, please do let me know. But I'm thinking this could be a cool and useful capability to have as a PLplot utility. 4) I plan to rerview the Pthreads work that's been done in PLplot. Until I look at it more closely, I can't say that there's anything I really view as needing to be done. But I'm using Pthreads more and more in my day job, and I want to be sure PLplot plays nicely in that environment. So, that's what I have in mind these days. None of these things need to gate the next release. I'll plan to do most of this on a (git) branch, and merge whenever they're ready. Releases off trunk can proceed apace. -- Geoff |

I still have more work on leap seconds and corresponding extensions to example 29 to complete before the release, but it should all be pretty straightforward so it shouldn't take me too much longer. That's all I have planned before this release, and as far as I know, nobody else has anything release critical in the works. Therefore, I am still comfortable with a beginning of May release. Hazen, if the weekend of May 2nd is convenient for you, please go ahead and confirm that weekend for the release. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
